India recently lost the third Test match against England in Headingley, Leeds. It was a humiliating defeat for Virat Kohli\u2019s men as they lost by an innings and 76 runs. One positive for India to take in this match was the upper-middle-order batsman Cheteshwar Pujara who was not in a great touch lately, scored 91 runs in the second innings. It seems he has reclaimed his form back after that innings.<\/p>\n<p>After the thumping victory in the Lord\u2019s Test, it was not an impressive performance by the Indian team in the third one. Hence, after this loss, coach Ravi Shastri wants to see a comeback from Virat Kohli\u2019s men in the fourth Test which will be played between 2nd September to 6th September at Oval cricket ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust think about Lord\u2019s, forget the last one. Even though we showed glimpses of a fight in the second innings, I think that first, you know, early dismissal of our players and getting all out for 78 played its part. But this series is wide open,\u201d Ravi Shastri said to \u2018Times Now Navbharat.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The Indian coach also thinks that India is not going to take a back step after the Leeds loss. On the contrary, he feels the pressure will be on England even after equalizing the series at 1-1 as they are playing in their home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indian coach says that the pressure is on the England cricket team, not the Indian team.
